As alluded to in a different reply, because this will track GPAs instead of HVAs,
the type needs to be "gpa_t", not "unsigned long". Oh, actually, they need to
be gfn_t, since those are what gets shoved into the xarray.

IIUC, this series treats memory as shared by default. I think we should invert
that and have KVM's ABI be that all guest memory as private by default, i.e.
require the guest to opt into sharing memory instead of opt out of sharing memory.

And then the xarray would track which regions are shared.

Regarding mem_attr_array, it probably makes sense to explicitly include what it's
tracking in the name, i.e. name it {private,shared}_mem_array depending on whether
it's used to track private vs. shared memory. If we ever need to track metadata
beyond shared/private then we can tweak the name as needed, e.g. if hardware ever
supports secondary non-ephemeral encryption keys.
